China's "Prefabricated Substations" See Global Orders Surge

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dimension News, the continuous expansion of global demand for computing power, data centers, and terminal equipment has driven the growth of China's electrical equipment exports. Overseas markets have seen a significant increase in demand for power equipment such as transformers and prefabricated cabin substations. Currently, China's highest voltage level exported prefabricated cabin substation has successfully delivered power in Oman. The project is assembled from 24 standardized functional modules, with all design, production, assembly, and system commissioning completed in China.

The 400 kV prefabricated cabin substation consists of four integrated prefabricated cabins with independent functions and coordinated systems. After the modules arrive in Oman, they are assembled and connected like building blocks. Compared to the large-scale civil engineering and commissioning required for traditional substation construction, this prefabricated module approach significantly shortens construction time.

According to Ji Guanghui, Vice President of Qingdao TGOOD Electric Co., Ltd. in Shandong: "The Oman project is a prefabricated cabin substation with the highest exported voltage level and the most comprehensive system integration solution. The construction period for a traditional civil engineering substation is one and a half to two years, but this project took less than six months to complete the entire process from order receipt, production, sea freight, on-site installation and commissioning, to power delivery."

The company revealed that overseas delivery projects in the first half of this year increased by 30% year-on-year. Market growth mainly comes from two aspects: the construction of data centers and computing power centers has significantly increased demand for power equipment such as transformers and prefabricated cabin substations; and proactively building regional standards and promoting international mutual recognition, with "technology export" expanding competitive advantages from the source.

Xu Guochuan, Assistant General Manager of the International Base of Qingdao TGOOD Electric Co., Ltd. in Shandong, introduced: "Previously, the cycle for adapting entire products to overseas standards took one or two years. Now, relying on standard interoperability and differentiated supplementation models, we can reduce the time to within three months, saving tens of millions of yuan in costs annually."

In the first half of this year, the export value of electrical equipment from Shandong Province reached 26.73 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.3%, with the export value of substations and transformer products exceeding 7 billion yuan.According to Liu Shuxia, Head of the Enterprise Credit Management Section of Qingdao Dagang Customs, these electrical products are mainly sold to the EU, the Middle East, Africa, South Korea, and other countries and regions, with particularly prominent export growth rates to the EU and Africa. The export volume of high-voltage large-capacity substation equipment and prefabricated cabin substations continues to rise, becoming a new growth engine for foreign trade.
